Joe Namath backs Internet service provider

When it comes to high-speed Internet service in South Florida, there is a new wannabe starting quarterback or two in town. His name is Joe Namath. Hers is Jessica.

Forgive the sloppy tech-football-cowboy pun. The good news is local consumers have a new service provider competitor on the field to choose from called OMGFAST — as in Oh My Gosh plus fast.

OMGFast Hi-Speed Internet Service has already caught one heck of an endorsement from the NFL hall-of-famer who calls Jupiter home, and his daughter.

It delivers service at speeds of 50 Mbps (megabits per second) or higher. That's as fast as it gets for either fiber or coaxial Internet speeds.

The company is based in Pompano Beach and began rolling out its wireless delivery system in South Florida earlier this year in Margate, Coral Springs, Tamarac and in areas of West Boca Raton. The company also operates the largest footprint for multichannel video and data distribution service in the country, meaning father and daughter have not signed up with a fly-by-night company.

Visit OMGFast.com to check for service in your neighborhood. If not available, keep checking, as the company says it will continue to expand throughout Broward and Palm Beach counties through next year.

OMGFast residential service starts at $29.95 per month and comes with free Wi-Fi and installation when ordered online. Business service starts at $59.95 per month. Apple TV boxes can be added for an additional $5 per month. Have an idea for Tech and Innovation? Contact Daniel Vasquez at dvasquez@tribune.com or 954-356-4219 or 561-243-6686.
